Phylake (Greek Phylákē Φυλάκη, dt, the "waiting " ) was an ancient Greek city on the border of the historic areas of Magnesia in Thessaly and Fthiotida near the Aegean Sea.

In the vicinity of Phylake (aka Kitik ) west from the Gulf of Volos in Thessaly a historically significant increase is due to a passport for Enipeustal on whose top surface is a wall of plate stones. The hill itself is bounded at the lowest level by a Cyclopean wall. This ancient building remains suggest a fruitful structure in antiquity and in prehistoric times. Because this building is identified with the ancient Phylake. Phylake could have been identical with the Phthiotis Thebes.

The city's name is connected with the mythical figure Protesilaos, who went with Troy and was killed there as the first, as the prophecy foretold. His picture is on coins of the Thessalian ( Phthiotis ) Thebes (see Mikrothiva ) listed, as the city was Phylake BCE to Thessaly since the 4th century. However, there is still an alternative location for Phylake interpreted, is not supposed to lie about 20 km east of Thebes, but is 5 km north of Thebes.

It stores ruins at Persuphli on Revma Dervisi.
